The reactions came Thursday following Tinubu’s move for “approval of an additional $800m for the funding of the National Safety Programme,” under which the Federal Government will transfer the sum of N8,000 monthly to 12,000,000 poor and low-income households for six months. The cash will be digitally transfered directly to the bank accounts and mobile wallets of beneficiaries.
